The Lowdown

The Cadbury Marathon is run by Athletics Tasmania and starts at the Cadbury chocolate factory in Claremont, in Hobart's northern suburbs. It has been held every January since 1983. The course makes two laps of the Cadbury Estate, then heads along Main Road and the Brooker Highway past MONA and out and back across the Bowen Bridge, with a loop at Foreshore Road. Runners cover the Bowen Bridge section twice before finishing back at the factory. The marathon has a 6-hour cut-off, aid stations roughly every 4 km, and a personal drink station service for marathon runners only. The event also offers a half marathon, 10 km, 5 km and a 1 km run, plus virtual entries, and supports the Royal Hobart Hospital Research Foundation.
